Officials have said the Government will take action against up to 100 oil tankers that have been carrying cargo said to be worth more than $24bn in defiance of sanctions.
The move comes as Starmer visits Norway for a meeting of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a military coalition of 10 European nations, where they are expected to announce further support for Ukraine.
He added: “The threat from Russia to our national security cannot be underestimated, that is why we will do everything in our power to destroy his shadow fleet operation, starve his war machine of oil revenues and protect the subsea infrastructure that we rely on for our everyday lives.
The JEF is a military coalition of mostly northern and eastern European nations, and has been operational since 2018.
The UK announced an earlier package of sanctions on Russia the last time JEF leaders met in December 2024.
At Friday’s meeting, the leaders are expected to announce further support for Ukraine’s armed forces through training exercises and other programmes that will help JEF nations to learn from Kyiv’s battlefield experiences.
